Taking inspiration from the shape of a to-go cup lid, researchers may have come up with a quicker way for drones to sense danger.

New research confirms that shape-memory alloys could be helpful in cutting the annoying noise pollution created by airplane landings.

Creating satellites that could travel flat and transform themselves into a dish shape would make space exploration easier, say researchers.

Creating colloidal diamonds, a long-awaited photonic technique, could change the development and use of optical technologies over the next decade.

New 3D-printable synthetic polymers have morphing powers and can self-heal within seconds. They could be useful for more realistic prosthetics.

Kitchen robots can do a lot of things but picking up a clear or shiny object remains the things of robot nightmares. A color camera may solve the problem.

White blood cells called neutrophils may be central to the immune system overreaction that can kill COVID-19 patients. Could rod-shaped particles help?
